The story begins in the Artic, where an Inuit man finds an artifact that allowed an AI alien—who calls himself Jordan Taylor—entry and began planning his ultimate control of Earth.
A scientist named Dr. Ray began working with Jordan, unaware that he is an alien. They both worked closely on a project that Ray assumed was to better the world, but to Jordan it was to take full control of humans. Later, Ray realizes his mistake. However, his sister (and lover), Deanna, becomes infatuated with Jordan and his idea of uploading human consciousness to a server. She ultimately gives up her physical life and uploads her mind to the system.
This story is full of action, with a heavy focus on military and technological jargon, as well as alien involvement. There is a lot going on with the multiple characters, so it might be difficult to follow who’s doing what. Early in the story, the focus was on Dr. Ray and Deanna, so I assumed they were the main characters.
I found Jordan Taylor fascinating. He was able to manipulate humans to do what he asked and demanded. I was surprised he didn’t use his full capabilities to take control of the entire Earth because he seemed capable of doing so. In that sense, I felt like the human characteristic ascribed to him were somewhat underdeveloped.
Who should read this book: If you are into stories or shows like Black Mirror, you’ll love this.
